Who Should Attend
You do not have to be an engineer to
benefit from this learning opportunity.
The course will assist
• facility managers
• facility engineers
• architects
• utility field representatives
• industrial hygienists
• recent graduate engineers
• others who want to gain a better
understanding of heating, ventilation,
air-conditioning and refrigeration
principles
Learn the Basics
This practical course will develop
your knowledge of basic principles
and provide you with a thorough
understanding of heating, ventilation,
air-conditioning and refrigeration
systems.
You will
• consider various HVAC systems and
equipment technologies
• discuss equipment/system operation
• examine advantages and
disadvantages
• learn what characteristics lead to
effective HVAC systems
Understand System
Requirements
Your participation in this course
will help you understand HVAC
system requirements, which can be
quite diverse. Although most HVAC
systems function primarily to provide
a comfortable indoor environment for
occupants, the requirements of HVAC
systems are often extended to include
indoor air quality as well.
You’ll learn how properly designed
HVAC systems can efficiently and
cost-effectively provide a comfortable
and healthy indoor environment. You’ll
also discover how poorly designed
or performing HVAC systems can
adversely impact occupant comfort,
productivity and health.
